True Feminism: The Third Choice

Reading articles or listening to debates about abortion, I’m always left wondering, “Why isn’t adoption front and center in the national conversation?” Adding adoption as The Third Choice to the stunted “two-choice solution” — abortion or “keeping my baby” — holds promise for many thousands of women and couples. Together, unexpectedly pregnant and childless women […]

I Met With Ivanka, Too, and Cecile Richards is Being a Drama Queen

In a breathless passage, or as People Magazine prefers to call it, a “riveting passage,” from Cecile Richards’ new book about her life as Planned Parenthood’s president for the past 12 years, she describes meeting with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in January 2017 to discuss taxpayer funding of her organization, the nation’s largest abortion […]

CWA Stands for Free Speech at the U.S. Supreme Court

NIFLA v. Becerra Oral Arguments Recap It was a cold, rainy day in the nation’s capital today, but that didn’t stop your representatives from Concerned Women for America (CWA) from being present inside and outside the United States Supreme Court to stand for freedom of speech and for life. We were there as the Court […]

Join CWA at the Supreme Court this Coming Tuesday

This coming Tuesday, March 20, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a very important pro-life, free speech case: National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra.  And Concerned Women for America (CWA) will be in front of the Supreme Court to rally for freedom and for life. This is the case I’ve written […]

House Votes to Protect Infants Born Alive After Abortions

Washington, D.C. – Today the House of Representatives passed H.R. 4712, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act by a vote of 241-183. This bill requires any health care practitioner who is present when a child is born alive following an abortion or attempted abortion to exercise the same degree of care as reasonably provided to […]

Why I (a Man) March for Life

Banal minds find it hard to grasp why I serve as legal counsel for Concerned Women for America (CWA). For all their boasting about acceptance, inclusion, and equality, many liberal elites especially have a hard time seeing a man working for a women’s organization. Well I do, proudly. Deal with it.

Capitol Hill Brief — 100 No More

  We’re looking back at God’s many blessings for Concerned Women for America in 2017, and we cannot forget to thank God for his hand directing our 100 No More rallies around the country. One of the least known facts about the abortion industry and Planned Parenthood is its disturbing connection to population control and […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Still Busy

  Friends, as we celebrate the Christmas season, I want to thank you for your support of Concerned Women for America. You make it possible for us to shine the light of Christmas on our nation’s public policy. Right now, CWA’s legal team is hard at work writing our brief on a very important pro-life, […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Disparate Foundings

  The founding of Planned Parenthood vs. Community Health Centers couldn’t be more different. Planned Parenthood was founded under the philosophy that the only way to help the poor was to stop them from reproducing.  It’s this offensive attitude that lead to Planned Parenthood becoming the largest abortion provider in America. By contrast, Community Health […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Abortion and Religion

  I have some hard news.  Thirty-seven percent of women obtaining abortions identified as evangelical or Catholic. Though self-identification may be a poor form of measuring religious engagements, these findings show that women getting an abortion are willing to be thought of as religious, but are still willing to get an abortion. This is a […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Women Won’t Lose

  What does Planned Parenthood actually do? Mammograms? Nope. What about prenatal care? Actually, only 8% of their clinics do that. They boast about GYN exams and STD testing, but those are available through the more than 11,000 community health centers in America. In fact Planned Parenthood only does about 1% of the nation’s pap […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Struggling for Life

  Listen carefully to what this Planned Parenthood official says they do with an unborn child that is born as a result of a botched abortion: [Audio Clip] Florida State Rep. Jim Boyd: It’s just really hard for me to even ask you this question, because I’m almost in disbelief. If a baby is born […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Every Heart Beating

  I remember hearing the heartbeat of my own children for the first time. [Heartbeat audio] Did you know that we can detect a child’s heartbeat beginning at 21 days? And can be heard by monitor at 8-10 weeks!   At 7-12 weeks old, an unborn baby has brain waves and developing features like a nose, […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Broad Support

  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act should not be a left or right issue. Even many pro-choice people support a 20-week ban on abortion. Recent polls by Quinnipiac, National Journal, Huffington Post, NBC News/Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post/ABC News all revealed: A majority of Americans support limiting abortion after 20-weeks’ gestation. Sixty percent of women think abortion after that […]

Justice Department Investigates Planned Parenthood Over Sale of Fetal Tissue

Washington, D.C. — Last night it was announced that the Department of Justice has launched an official investigation of Planned Parenthood’s practices and sale of fetal tissue. Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, issued the following statement: “It’s about time! Since 1916, when Margaret Sanger opened the first ‘birth control clinic,’ […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Bad Company

  According to medical experts, a baby’s pain system at 20-weeks’ gestation is fully developed; the baby’s higher-level, pain-modifying systems have barely begun to develop, leaving them to feel excruciating pain. That is big reason why the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is so desperately needed.  What we have in our country is nothing short of a humanitarian crisis. […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Pain-Capable

  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act exposes the left for their radicalism on abortion.  The legislation only deals with the unborn child at 20 weeks — that’s five months! I told you yesterday that at five months, a baby has fingernails, her own unique fingerprints, eyebrows, and eyelashes. But did you know that there […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Boy, Girl, or Statistic?

  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is one of the most crucial pieces of pro-life legislation since the passage of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.  This legislation not only protects babies who are five months in the womb and can feel excruciating pain, but also protects women who are at an increasingly greater risk […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Love Saves Lives

  “Love Saves Lives.” That is the theme of the 2018 March for Life, coming up on January 19.  I hope you are already making plans to attend.  Concerned Women for America is always front and center at the March, standing up for the unborn and their mothers. But this public display of our support […]
